Lightwave 9.3.1

by David Everhart · in Artist Corner · 08/24/2008 (6:36 pm) · 6 replies

Has anyone been able to do an export of a model and animation using the LWDTS tool and Lightwave 9.3.1? Mine seems to crash everytime I try, although I can export the .DSQ, just not the DTS.

Well, looks like you cant have a null parent, with children attached to it. I also had to add a weightmap and it shows up fine in showtool. Now to get it to appear in torque x!

Just logged back and am checking to see the status of LW with Torque.

Too bad a stable robust exporter hasn't been developed yet. I had to stop using Torque sometime ago due to export/import issues.

I thought I had it working fine in 9.3, though I have not tried in 9.5 since the full release. In fact, I still need to download the full release rather than the beta release I have!

This is a bit of a late response to this post, but I have developed everything in my Torque environment packs with lightwave and David Wyand's lightwave exporter for torque.

Hell, I even used it in the reboot of Think Tanks, and the development of Legions.

His exporter has always been very stable and robust.

Having said that, I haven't done much with it and LW9.5 yet.

Unfortunately I have problems with this plugin and LW 9.5 (64-bit). It simply does not work at all. But maybe it works on 32-bit. I used to export with it formerly at my XP 32-bit and it worked fine then.

torque API is 32 bit only. 64Bit encoded models wont work. Someone told me this long ago with 3ds max.
